“…Researchers postulated that the lack of assessment on the economic benefits of adapting strategies can explain the low rate of adaptation strategies (Khanal et al, 2018b;Liu et al, 2022). A lot of studies focused on identifying factors that influence farmers' adaptation to climate change, yet comparatively less research has focused on and discussed the monetary benefits and costs of adopting adaptation strategies in agricultural operations (Khanal et al, 2018b;Liu et al, 2022). Khanal et al (2018b) added that studies should focus on the effects of adapting strategies on farmers' TE because little knowledge is available about whether smallholder farmers' adaptation practices in developing countries enhance the efficiency of farm production.…”

“…However, in our paper, we focused on the studies that used stochastic frontier analysis. We based our literature on studies in African countries (Adzawla and Alhassan, 2021;Ojo and Baiyegunhi, 2020;Sedebo et al, 2021) and outside of African countries (Auci et al, 2021;Khanal et al, 2018b;Liu et al, 2022;Roco et al, 2017;Shahbaz et al, 2022).…”

“…Climate change has emerged as one of the major threats for Sub-Saharan African agriculture as it increases production costs and the risk of crop failure, reduces technical efficiency (TE) in production and also jeopardizes the stability of the entire agricultural production chain (Boko et al, 2012;Liu et al, 2022;Lokonon et al, 2015). Both theoretical and empirical literature show that climate change has adverse effects on agriculture in developing countries in general and in…”

PurposeThis study aims to discuss climate change, by modifying the timing of several agricultural operations, reduce the efficiency and yield of inputs leading to a lower production level. The reduction of the effects of climate change on production yields and on farmers' technical efficiency (TE) requires the adoption of adaptation strategies. This paper analyses the impact of climate change adaptation strategies adopted on maize farmers' TE in Benin.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses an endogeneity-corrected stochastic production frontier approach based on data randomly collected from 354 farmers located in three different agro-ecological zones of Benin.FindingsEstimation results revealed that the adoption of adaptation strategies improve maize farmers' TE by 1.28%. Therefore, polices to improve farmers' access to climate change adaptation strategies are necessarily for the improvement of farmers' TE and yield.Research limitations/implicationsThe results of this study contribute to the policy debate on the enhancement of food security by increasing farmers' TE through easy access to climate change adaptation strategies. The improvement of farmers' TE will in turn improve the livelihoods of the communities and therefore contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals 1, 2 and 13.Originality/valueThis study contributes to theoretical and empirical debate on the relationship between adaptation to climate change and farmers' TE. It also adapts a new methodology (endogeneity-corrected stochastic production frontier approach) to correct the endogeneity problem due to the farmers' adaptation decision.

“…Moreover, farmers who have limited resource endowments are among the most vulnerable to climate change and need more effective adaptation measures to ensure sustainable livelihoods. Consequently, there is an increasing number of studies focusing on climate resilience in agriculture (Tambo and Wünscher, 2017; Haworth et al , 2018; Liu et al , 2022). Resilience is “the capacity of social, economic and environmental systems to cope with a hazardous event or trend or disturbance” (Pörtner et al , 2022).…”

Purpose The main purpose of this study is to examine the impact of agricultural internet information (AII) acquisition on climate-resilient variety adoption among rice farmers in the Jianghan Plain region of China. Additionally, it explores the influencing channels involved in this process. Design/methodology/approach Based on survey data for 877 rice farmers from 10 counties in the Jianghan Plain, China, this paper used an econometric approach to estimate the impact of AII acquisition on farmers’ adoption of climate-resilient varieties. A recursive bivariate Probit model was used to address endogeneity issues and obtain accurate estimates. Furthermore, three main influencing mechanisms were proposed and tested, which are broadening information channels, enhancing social interactions and improving agricultural skills. Findings The results show that acquiring AII can overall enhance the likelihood of farmers adopting climate-resilient varieties by 36.8%. The three influencing channels are empirically confirmed. Besides, educational attainment, income and peer effects can facilitate farmers’ acquisition of AII, while climate conditions and age significantly influence the adoption of climate-resilient varieties. Practical implications Practical recommendations are put forward to help farmers build climate resilience, including investing in rural internet infrastructures, enhancing farmers’ digital literacy and promoting the dissemination of climate-resilient information through diverse internet platforms. Originality/value Strengthening climate resilience is essential for sustaining the livelihoods of farmers and ensuring national food security; however, the role of internet information has received limited attention. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to examine the casual relationship between internet information and climate resilience, which fills the research gap.
